DescriptionThis is my grail piece. I fell in love with this image as a kid and was really fortunate to get it in the early 2000's before it became unaffordable. I should probably upload a better scan one of these days.If you like this layout, check out my Legion of Super-Heroes gallery for a Mike Grell commission that I asked him to base on this cover. I then commissioned Bob McLeod for an inked version, which was used as the cover art to Back Issue Magazine #14. Social/Sharing |

A really awesome cover! Gil Kane is a master of composition and Adkins did a bang-up job on the inks! If you have more outstanding stuff like this - don't be shy - show it off! No one appreciates comic art as much as those of us here on CAF.

One of my favorite Gil Kane covers—magnificent, thank you for sharing. You know the old saying, “if you ever decide to part with it...”

I remember buying this as a kid, already a massive Gil Kane fan, and still LOVE the line work on it. Fantastic pencils and Adkins also did a complimentary ink job on them. I always hated Karnak's face here, and it hasn't improved with age, but that's obviously a ridiculously minor quibble on such a classic Kane cover. Congrats!

Black Bolt is one of my favorite Kirby character designs and Kane is the best Marvel cover artist of the 70s. Together = grail. Huge congrats on a memorable and awesome cover!
